THE MEANeST MAN YET.
next year.

4 Proprietor Who Pocketed an EN-
pioye's Idua-Ownership OF Inventions.
have always thought that numbered the
meanest man In the world among my ac-
quaintanccs. He is tho proprietor Of small
mandatory, which makes him neat little
fortune every year Among his employees
was an old man, whom he paid the muni-
cent sum of s. week to sit at the door and
take the time OF his work len and keep In
tluders out. The old fellow, silent, melan-
choly and always looking hungry, had, it
seems an inventive turn. lie was continu-
ally making little experiments in useful d.
rections and he had quite u collection OF
small inventions that he was too poor to
patent.
One day his employer discovered this and
he Immediately laid claim to them on the
ground that they had been made IN the time
he paid for, and that they consequently be-
longod to him. He actually secured one, pat
ented it and began to make money by 1t
without allowing a penny TO his IS week
helot when accident brought the matter TO
the attention OF another manufacturer, who
did not wear a gizzard where his heart be-
longed
Thi, person took the inventor into his own
shop, took his inventions in charge, patented
them, found market for such as he could
not make himself and divided fairly with
their creator. The prolific and utilitarmn
bent Of the old mans mind vas encouraged
to greater activity, and he is still inventing.
He and his good friend are partners Both
are well to do and growing richer yearly.
l.. S,nt ~,
his one patent and pockeiing oil the pro-
ceeds without an idea that hs owes any re-
sponsiblity to the employe whom he starved
while he had him and robbed into the bar
gain.
Tho question as TO the ownership Of inven
tons made by employees in their working
time has long been . veIed ono. In mos,
establishments the employer sets up claim u
them, but pays the inventor royalty. Often
however, the employer wants all. and mex
perience and lack Of means to carry the mat
ter TO law generally force the employs &c
submit TO the injustice 1t is gratifying tc
note therefore, that the supreme court Of
Wisconsin has established precedent In such
cases The court had q case in which work
mans invention was claimed by his employe,
on the ground that the model was made il
the hours Of regular labor, out OF materia
belonging 10 the employer. But the jus
and humane Judge said: moi You hir'
this mans services in your trade, not hi
ideas. II is the work OF his hands, not hi
brain, you pay for, and nasmuch as yo,
derive an ample profit from his labor. an'
assume no obligation to all him II he become
III or helpless through devotion to you
service you can afford the little time ant
material he used in giving his idea Tangible

was never rendered In the world. -Alfres

Ies of llfe Increased 10 prIce ~ I per cept

les al life increased 10 price IL per cent ;
that the net betferment IT the laboring msn
was therefore 30 o per cent; that from 1860
Ia 1888, under the highest pro'ectlOn ~ the
century, the increase Of wages WAS "a 4 per
cent, the increase of prices was II 8 per

therefore o per cent. The net betterment

sively accomplished under the Is years OF

the country has ever submitted 70. The In
crease of wages as shown by the Commits
sioner, differs somewhat from that found
lay the census. The wages given by the
Commissioner. however, are confined alone
To Massachusetts,, while those given by the
census are the general average of all the
States, and herein lies the explanation.
The Hon, G. ii Burchard, director Of the
United States mint, laid before Congress Ia
1888 table of prices of the various ar,i.
Giles In common everyday use. from 1925 to
1880, and that report shows that the neces-
salies Of family life were 32,s per cent less
under the free trade tariff, from 1850 10 go,
than In 1870 in gold under protection. In
deed, In view Of their purchasing power,
wages were higher from 1850 To 1860 than
they ever were before In the flight OF re-
corded time. As before stated, that system
under which day of toll will purchase
most OF the necessaries Of life is best for
the laborer. And nowhere upon the face
of the earth, In ancient or modern times,
could the lahorer purchase SO many of the
COM forts of life with his day of labor as

mn~i" at White House receptions,
i, aa~ 'iastic in praise OF the
present Administration. Mr.. Cleve-
land feeds them we'll and is sociable
and kind to them and Secretary
Whitney is a man just after their
own hearts. When they got
through at the Presidents on New
Years day, the Secretary of the
Navy took them over to his house
to play at the reception there. he
paid them S. apiece for their ser
vices, and the leader $40. This
was the first time they ever re-
celvtu any remuneration from a
Cabinet officer or any other Govt.
official. They say the worst treat
ment they ever had was under
President Arthur, when they were
sent home at two or three O'Clock
in the morning with their stomachs
full OF oyster soup and beer.
Blame was not fixed upon Mr.. Ar
thur himself, but upon his steward.
The far famed Marine Band is
composed Of thirty eight men, and
the salaries paid them are S3S per
month tor first class talent, 81 for
second class, and 81 for third
class. The leader gets about
81 600 year. This and the West
Point band are the only two bands,
as such, that the Government sup
ports. Although the Marine band
enjoys some perquisites, and a
good many privileges and honors,
it complains that its salaries are
too small, and that first rate man
cannot he kept at the wages paid
BY the Government.

expires, the initial fees do not
lapse, while in the other cases they
would have to be repaid.
The practice in the United States
Patent Office was not always thus.
During Grants first term, for pc
Rod of about year, attorneys were
allowed access to all letter books,
and previous to that had been al
lowed access to the files of aban-
doned cases, but there was con
slant scramble and not infrequently
downright fights over them, and
about 1915 the Patent Office made
them secret.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From an Occasional Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, d. G.. Jan. nth, 49,

! From an Occasional Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, d. C.. Jan. 18th, 1887
There are ten books in the secret
archives of the United States Pat
ent Office for which patent attorn-
eys ill Washington would be will
ing to give 100000. They are the
books containing the names and
addresses of inventors whose eases
have been rejected during the past
ten years. There has been an av-
elage of $4,000 cases filed in the
Patent Office every year for the
last ten years and early average
of $4,000 patents granted. Last
year there were $4,000 applications
filed and a 900 patents issued, the
largest number in any one year.
On this showing something like 60
per cent of the applications have
been patented. SO there have been
during the last ten years about
100000 rejected cases. These in
part include cases defeated in inter
ferences and applications allowed,
but on which final fees have not
been paid.
Now good attorneys get fully 80
per cent OF their cases allowed and
patened hence there must be some
reason for only SO per cent of the
applications being allowed. The
reason is this: fully 5000 inventors
every year make out their own
eases and try to get them through
the Patent Office. Not knowing
the routine they almost invariably
get involved in the meshes of red
tape and the intricacies of Patent
Office procedure. The difficulty
may be slight, a mere informality,
a defective drawing, an improperly
worded application, an indefinite
specification, or slight interfer-
ence requiring a few amendments
which a skilIful patent attorney
could make in half all hour. But
to the inventor these prove an in
surmountable obstacle his applica-
ton is rejected and he gives up in
or despair.
Applications for patents in the
United States Patent Office go first
to the twenty eight principal ex-
aminers, according to the subject
If they are rejected, two
years are allowed in which to
amend them or take other neces-
sary action. If no action shall
have been taken at the end of two
years, such cases are treated as
and are sent to the di-
vision where they are entered in
the books which the Patent At
.orneys so much coyet. Fully so.
700 of the rejected cases Of the last
zen years fall under these condi-
ions. At low estimate $4,000 of
5hese rejected cases put in the
lands of competent attorney
could be patented. A patent at
fees on such conditional
Eases would be about SO per
gross sum of 625, 1000.
Count out Disguised inventors and
hose not able to pay, still an
number would get out
patents if they knew how. But the
rouble is just here-no one outside
he Patent Office is allowed access.
o those file books. And without
hem they can not learn the name
nd address of inventors. Then
gain, there are some $4,000 eases
ow lying in the Examiners rooms
waiting the two years limit. These
re still more valuable, for if they :
